Advertorial Lawn Bros are property maintenance pros When Lawn Bros was founded six years ago, it was a simple lawn maintenance company. Today, it has grown into one of the top businesses in Oakville for property maintenance services; offering landscape design, sod and irrigation, and much more. " In 2011, the year we first started out, it was just Marcus and I cutting lawns and doing basic spring clean ups" said Mike Baird, who, with his brother Marcus, founded Lawn Bros. " From there, we've really grown a lot and due to demand, added other quality services. Because we had a great product to offer and dependable service, people came to know us and were able to count on us giving them the best quality every time." In 2017, Lawn Bros won the Oakville Beaver Readers' Choice Award for the sixth consecutive time for property maintenance services, offering six major services to its clients. Lawn maintenance: Lawn Bros will keep your property looking great with a weekly lawn maintenance package. The basic package in­ cludes mowing, trimming, and clean up.

Although the company is continuing to grow, Baird explained tha t both he and Marcus want to ensure tha t their clients are still getting personalized care. "When we first started out, we sat down and talked about what core values we wanted to instil in our business and in everyone involved, and we've made sure to stay true to them to th is day," he said. "With those core values, we've been able to grow, and be successful in so many ways." Baird explained that timely communication with each client is extremely important, "our Mike Baird and his wife, Julie, accept the 2017 Oakville Beaver Readers' Choice Award for property maintenance services. clients like to pick up the phone and have it answered, and that goes a long way."

Halton Exterior makes your home summertime-safe To start spring o ff right, Halton Exterior wants to ensure tha t everything from your shed roof to your attic insulation is functional and safe, since the harsh weather during the winter months can leave the exterior parts of a home worn, or even damaged. "We specialize in any kind of job, especially the smaller ones," said Frank Soule who, with his wife Debbie, owns the family-run company, Halton Exteriors. Their two sons, Matthew and Christopher, also help out and ensure tha t during th is busy season, customers are receiving quality services. "They don't need to be huge projects for us to come over there and do it. We'll fix tha t shed roof, or tha t one piece o f eavestrough at the front o f the house if th a t's all tha t is needed." With the warmer weather finally here though, Soule explained tha t many o f their services will be in demand in order to prepare for summer. Eavestroughs: It's crucial to avoid satu­ ration o f rainwater against the foundation o f your home. Halton Exteriors repairs and installs eavestroughs, and offers a wide va­ riety o f colours. Roofing: The roofing system you choose is an important decision when it comes to your home's exterior. A Halton Exteriors roof consists o f metal drip edge on eaves, as well as an ice and water shield on all eaves that are a minimum of three feet. Chimney repair: Cracks or absence o f a chimney cap can cause water to move along the jo in ts o f brick, especially during the win­ ter months during a thaw. Below freezing temperatures cause expansion, which cre­ ates the crack, and can lead to major dam­ ages. Caught early on though, installing a new concrete chimney cap will prevent fur­ ther damages. Porch columns: Whether they're provid­ ing support, or they're ju s t for decorative purposes, according to Soule, the wooden columns used extensively in newer subdi­ visions won't stand the tes t o f time. "We replace these wood columns with fibreglass columns for support or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) for wrap around applications where a metal post is already installed." Halton Exteriors provides and installs the finished product; sanded, washed, primed caulked and painted. The family-run company has received the Oakville Beaver's Diamond Readers Selection Award for Best Businesses/ Service for their eavestroughing and gutters services, and Soule believes it 's a testam ent to the installers. "The people who do the work, and the quality o f their workmanship, it really follows us around," Soule explained. " It's the relationships we've built, and integrity o f the installers, th a t's the key to the mark we've made in the Oakville community." Halton Exteriors is located on Queen Mary Drive in Oakville.
